Conrad is constantly learning new things about God. He likens this to reading the Bible and having sudden new revelations about things he has read many times before. He talks about how this spiritual progression has been there the whole time and he is only now seeing it everywhere.

Conrad begins by talking about how, as Christians, we are called to move from a place of fearing God to one of loving Him. He then talks about how Jesus defines love, saying that we are called to love God with all our heart, mind, and strength.

Jesus says that those who love Him will keep His commandments, and He will manifest Himself to them. Judas asks why Jesus will not manifest Himself to the world if He loves them. Jesus explains that if someone loves Him, they will keep His commandments. This is a contrast between those who believe and those who love Jesus. Jesus will manifest Himself to those who love Him.

Conrad argues that Christians need to have a spiritual relationship with Jesus, and cites Matthew 7:21-23 as evidence. In that passage, Jesus says that many people will call him Lord but he will not know them, because they have not done the will of his Father. Conrad asks if this means that Jesus never manifested himself to these people before their personal judgment day.

The Bible talks about how the heart 'gathers iniquity to itself'. I found a parallel with cognitive bias. This is where we automatically filter out information that challenges our presuppositions. I explore finding cognitive bias in ourselves and how we can have fruitful conversations with people that may have cognitive bias.


Heart gathers iniquity on autopilot Ps 41:6 ;
Cessationists and atheists ignore what Pentecostals don't;
Demonizing people we disagree with;
Consequences of demonizing the enemy;
I used to be a New Ager so I understand their perspective;
People we disagree with believe they have valid points;
Winning an argument versus the 'bigger picture';
Solutions;
Seek first to understand and then to be understood;
Ascribing noble intent;
Consider the impact of what you may say;
Be open to new and challenging ideas;
Find common ground and work from there;
